A Head Full of Dreams

zdigitalWhat we said:Coldplay’s seventh LP might be arriving too late to appear in most Best of 2015 round-ups, but it does boast the distinction of being the only album this year to feature Beyoncé, Noel Gallagher, Merry Clayton and Barack Obama. If that doesn’t intrigue you, how about the fact that A Head Full Of Dreams also features a song co-written with Swedish synth-pop queen Tove Lo, and production from Norwegian hit-makers Stargate? Or that it’s a more energetic set than Ghost Stories, as hinted at by disco-ish lead single ‘Adventure Of A Lifetime’, which sounds how we imagine Foals might, 10 years from now? If, after all this, you’re not even slightly curious to sample the full-length then, really, there’s no pleasing you.
